The WAAG (Week at a Glace)

Each week Shanty Bay Public School will email families a week at a glance document that will highlight key events happening each week at our school.  It will also include important upcoming dates and other important school information (e.g., hot lunches, field trips, in-school presentations, team practices, club meetings, etc.).  This communication will be shared through our school messaging system (SchoolMessenger).  If you are not receiving the WAAG, please contact the office to ensure that your email address on file is up to date.
